Rabbi Sam by Charlie Varon December 5, 2007

Congregation B'nai Am is looking for a new rabbi. Sam Isaac is young,charismatic, and an ex-tax attorney. "Finally," says one board member, "a rabbi who's not afraid to look at the financials." Rabbi Sam promises to doublemembership, compost the synagogue's food scraps, and take the entire congregation to Jerusalem. Some members of the congregation love Rabbi Sam, hisenergy and innovation. Some can't stand him. And of course, some of them can't stand each other. In "Rabbi Sam" Charlie plays a dozen characters, including the rabbi and eight contentious board members.
